DreamWorks Developing Three New Kids' TV Shows for Netflix

Netflix will house three new DreamWorks Animation Television kids series in 2019 and 2020, according to Deadline.

New series include:

Archibald's Next Big Thing - 2019: Inspired by the children's book from Tony Hale, Tony Biaggne, and Victor Huckabee, the show follows the adventures of Archibald Strutter, a chicken who "yes-ands" his way thru life. Though living in the moment often leads him astray, Archibald always finds his way back home. Executive produced by Hale, Archibald's Next Big Thing emphasizes the importance of being present and celebrating the journey, not just the destination.

Gabby's Dollhouse - 2020: A preschool show with a surprise inside, created and executive produced by Traci Paige Johnson (Blue's Clues, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) and Jennifer Twomey (Blue's Clues, Team Umizoomi), Gabby's Dollhouse is a mixed media series that unboxes a surprise before jumping into a fantastical animated world full of adorable cat characters that live inside Gabby's dollhouse.

Rhyme Time Town - 2020: Daisy the Puppy and Cole the Kitten are ready to guide young children through a colorful and adventurous world filled with nursery rhymes and imaginative play.

DreamWorks and Netflix will produce the previously announced She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Nov 16) and Tales of Arcadia: Wizards (2019) from Guillermo del Toro. The companies will also produce an animated Fast & the Furious series is set for 2019.
